If you continue to focus on how many yards they give up, you will drive yourself crazy. Try this instead. The number of points given up in games which in the beginning what 28 + pts a clip over the first four. Has gone down in every game except for the Denver game, and now is down to 17 pts...... Do you really think you can beat this offense down the stretch if all the d gives up is 17 pts per game.

Think about it KC and Carolina are no better than the Raiders, we should be 7-3 right now. Now look back at the hapless Skins game and it does make you wonder. But great game today keeps that Black and Gold flowing through my veins.

We really should be better than that. The only team that really horse whipped us was Denver. I truly believe if the regular refs were in at the beginning of the season we would only have 1 or two losses. Assuming we took care of KC and Car.

The loss to KC can be attributed to replacement refs. PT's TD should have never been overturned and Pierra said as much during the game. We did not score on that drive after the overturned TD after Hartley missed the FG which gave life and momentum swing to KC. Just another thing to look back on and say what if!

Getting to .500 and possibly a winning season...I'd be happy with that scenario. Not satisfied, but after what we have been through, a winning season would be a major accomplishment. Any other team would have folded by now.

There is a lot of heart on this team, that's for sure, and the leadership is definitely there ... I think that's what I like best about following this team,

This is the 4th week in a row, the D gutted it out in the red zone, and
stopped at least one goal line series dead. I still dont think the O is 100% on track, and Brees himself would tell you so. You'll know they're on track, when theres a pressury 3rd down, and they nail it, like in the Texans game last year.

- which shows you how useless statistics really are. The Raiders were really never a threat in this game. This defense is starting to show some
guts when it really matters.
